Thank you for responding. When I turned it on in the store, it ran smoothly and so quietly that I was instantly charmed. May I ask how you learned the age of your machine? I haven't been able to find my 49 Special anywhere except eBay, and that one didn't show a date. Also, it is selling for $602. 00! Imagine my shock upon seeing that price, although mine doesn't have any accessories. I would love to know the history of my model. If you can advise of any resource it will be greatly appreciated.
